The total bridge weight listed for 1986 includes the reduction in weight due to the redecking in

1986. The weight of the original reinforced concrete deck and its supporting stringers was

166,397 tons (150,952,000 kg). The weight of the new orthotropic steel plate deck, its two inches

of epoxy asphalt surfacing, and its supporting pedestals is now 154,093 tons (139,790,700 kg).

This is a total reduction in weight of the deck of 12,300 tons (11,158,400 kg), or 1.37 tons (1133

kg) per lineal foot of deck
